Solution For Termite Infestation

Around Australia, termites are frequently referred to as ‘white ants’. These tiny pests can cause a massive level of property damage every year. Because of their great capacity for destruction, residents of St George are advised to seek quality termite treatment services.

Removing & Managing Termites

There are many potential treatments for termites, so let’s have alook at them briefly. There are two main management strategies performed for termite control: one is the complete eradication of the colony through baiting, and next is using chemical treatments to make a barrier between the building and the colony. Contact us today for additional information on the costs involved with the various treatment options.

Chemical remedies are the more standard strategy to eliminate white ants in St George homes. Remember, intercepting and baiting to eradicate the colony also has some distinct advantages that should not be ignored.

To ensure the job is carried out correctly, it’s vital to get a trusted pest exterminator in to review the situation.

If you think that your residence or building is under threat from insect invasion, don’t panic. Call us and get the assistance of the best termite treatment team covering the St George area. We will assist you to make an educated decision on this important service, and offer you a very competitive price for treatment.

Chemical Remedy for Termite Infestation

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals provide great protection from termites since they are easily detected and strongly avoided by them. Unfortunately however, if there is a gap in the chemical, either due to a lack of access to all areas, or if a treated area is later compromised, termites may recognise these gaps and gain ingress.

The commonly used repellent is Bifenthrin, which has a residual life of up to five years following application.

Non-Repelling Chemicals

These chemicals aren’t sensed by termites, and therefore the termites don’t avoid contact with the chemical. Once exposed, the termites are killed, and may pass the chemical on to other members of the colony, therefore causing a flow on result.

Given termites can’t tell apart treated areas to non-treated areas, the chance of termite access via untreated gaps is lower.

A frequently used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to eight years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Above Ground Systems are used to remove termites from the property by putting attractive bait stations directly on the sites of termite activity and therefore enticing the termites to eat a poison bait rather than the timber. The worker termites will then feed the bait to other individuals in the nest which results in a flow on effect.

In this way, the whole termite colony can be eliminated, even when you don’t know the actual location of the nest. The bait stations continue to be monitored and assessed, so that they can be added, rebaited and/or moved in response to the observed results.

In Ground Systems can be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they intercept the termites before the perimeter is breached.

What Damage Can Termites Cause?
